   I believe Medicare can help pay for a lift chair, if there's a medical necessity (for those with severe hip or knee arthritis, or a neuromuscular disease, and cannot get up from a seated position to stand on their own), as a type of durable medical equipment (DME) under your Medicare Part B insurance.  Part B would pay 80%  of the cost and you would be responsible for the remaining 20%. I'd recommend calling Medicare to get more specific input.
